I had to stop 4 mins in - that video muddies obesity and type II diabetes and gives odes to Robert Lustig who is a massive alarmist buffoon, and on top of that falls into the disproven "insulin = fat" correlation. In fact a number of people can lose tons of weight on either the potato diet or the Kempner diet (high rice/sugar) which produce extremely high insulin response. Transient high insulin is perfectly healthy, chronically high insulin - which is a response to a disease state - is the problematic signal. Roughly a century ago, fructose was used to manage diabetes.
Massive fat gain occurs largely due to combined intake of fat and carbohydrates, because due to the core cellular Randle cycle and evolution around it, the body is geared to burning one or the other, not both at once.
Type II diabetes is strongly associated and caused by free fatty acids. This is not to be conflated with "eating fat", which gets shifted around in the form of triglycerides. It's specifically free fatty acids that associate extremely strongly with diabetes type II, which is the reason that insulin-like PPARgamma agonists can actually provide transient disease management from type II diabetes (at the expense of weight gain - diabetes is not the same as obesity).
Contrary to popular belief, even protein plays into both diabetes and obesity, because certain amino acids such as Leucine and Methionine play strongly into the cellular response to food intake and various processes.
